THE Montana Legislature ad- journed without making any pro- vision for taxing the railroads, and the Supervisors of all the counties have pttitioned the Governor to call an extra session of that body that such measures should he taken and such laws enacted.

 All cattle admitted or to be ad- mitted into this state from points south of said state which are be- ing driven by trail, and which are intended for points north of tie Arkansas river in this stale, or points beyond, are hereby required to strlctl " contine themselves to the defined and established trail on range forty-one.
 It Is hereby ordered by the vete- rinary sanitary board that ail rail roads bringing stock cars into this state, shall, before bringing them into the state, clean and carefully disinfect said ears. and in case of the unloading of stock within the state, cars must in all cases be care fully cleansed and disinlected, and all litter and manure completely burned or otherwise disinfected.
 Cars and pens will be considered disinfected only when they have been carefully washed and thor oughly sprinhled with unslacked lime, crude carbolic acid or some other approved disinlectant.

THE statement that the Gnvern- ment still has an area of over ,000,- 100000 acres of land subject to sale is calculated to deceive the average reader. Strictly speaking, the figures are correct; but 1t is also true that very large proportion of this land is hopelessly sterile and unfit for any of the uses of agricul- ture. The amount of tiilable ter ritory remaining undisposed of is comparatively small, and within a few years it will be impossible for the settler to find quarter section which will be worth taking as a homestead. It is exceedingly i'm portant, therefore, that such advan- tages as are yet present in that re- spect should be closely guarded for the benefit of honest and wor- thy citizens.-Ex.

THE New Orleans Picavune

THE New Orleans Picayune pro- poses, as means of counteracting the terrible dry seasons with which the people living in Western Texas are liable to be afflicted, that dams should be thrown across the several rivers that penetrate that region and artificial bodies of water or lakes formed. The resultant in- crease of humidity from evapora- ton, and the use of the water sup ply for irrigating purposes in time of need, would improve the climate and insure the successful cultiva- tion of areas that must otherwise remain waste.

AN exchange says it's tho land that saves us. Therefore the man who unlowfully takes an acre, or by any subterfuge grabs a square mile of territory which would oth- erwise be open to settlement, is a thief and a robber. He is interfer- ing with the prosperity of this coun- try-he is tampcring with the hap piness of the American people fifty years from now.

Bryant & Stratton's double en- try system of bookkeeping" Where did you find it? Not in the Treas urer's books prior to January 1st, 1887, we venture to say. Bryant & Stratton never taught such book keeping as was found in these books by the grand jury which was in session in February last, and which comprised some of the best book keepers in the county. The grand jury of February, competent ill every respect to judge, reported af- ter three or four days investigation that the Treasurer's books had never been properly kept, and this report included and covered the time when Frank Reed, the Bryant & Stratton student CD was the clerk. MT. Frank Reed, the pro- duction of Bryant & Stratton "kept 'em," but "kept 'em" so that an in teiligent grand jury could not un- derstand them,

ST. JOINS experienced on Tues day last at } P. NJ, a slight earth quake shock, lasting only very few seconds and doing no damage, and was probably not felt hy more than half of the inhabitants. The shock was felt very plainly at the stores of pr. Blake and Alfred Ruiz. where book cases were shaken and some few articles thrown from thr shelves. The shock was also felt very plainly at the residence of Mir. Ruiz and that of Mr. Mccormick. Whether the shock felt in this place is the starting point of something more serious to follow. or whether it was the result of a greater shock experienced elsewhere, remains to be determined. This shock is pro- bably the first ever exp erienced in the Territory.
